OUR MISSION

Explore new possibilities in forestry, energy efficiency and sustainability for Canadian cities by creating an environment to meaningfully engage and collaborate with entrepreneurs, designers, developers, thought leaders and industry experts – through the use of intense, non-technical prototyping workshops.

WHAT IS GREENCITY PROTOHACK

We want to shape a better future for Canadian cities, so we’ve partnered with ProtoHack to run 2 GreenCity Code-Free Hacks – 1 in Vancouver and 1 in Ottawa. These fun hacks will bring people together to work on ideas and even solve challenges around forestry and energy efficiency – all with the goal of making our cities more sustainable. Participants don’t need to have coding experience to participate in the event, anyone with an interest in the topic is welcome. Our events are free thanks to the support of Natural Resources Canada.

Each GreenCity Code-Free Hack is a 12-hour competition designed to inspire and educate the community to take their innovative concepts from ideation to prototyping and pitching. With this event we hope to spark new partnerships and social startups but we will also be using the findings to better understand how government can enable others to drive change. What data needs to be unlocked? In what areas should government co-create? What environment do changemakers need? Answering these questions will help us better understand what’s needed to set the stage for Canada’s sustainable cities and next generation leaders.

Saturday, March 19, 2016 from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM (EDT)
